YEAH is an interactive website where anyone and everyone with a mobile phone camera and mms/email capabilities can anonymously submit photos, of anything and everything from anywhere and everywhere. People can email their mobile phone photos to YEAH and they will be instantly displayed on the YEAH website in the order they are sent, creating an endless scroll of objectively juxtaposed images.

	<i>“What we see today is not discontinuity but continuity. Mass media reaches its natural end-state when we broadcast our lives rather than live them.”</i>

<p>
			YEAH started from the idea that one product, in this case a mobile phone, can have so many functions; the internet, a camera, and email/mms messages capabilities all on one device that fits right into one’s pocket. YEAH encourages the potential of a mobile phone creating a new idea and redefining creative possibilities. YEAH challenges the ideas of surveillance, and public versus private by creating a medium for people walking down the street to instantly anonymously broadcast their experiences to the world using today’s mobile phone technology. Some popular social networking sites use this same capability of uploading mobile phone photos. However, on YEAH all submissions are completely anonymous, there are no profiles, avatars or descriptions, and each photo on the site is given equal value and attention, letting the photos speak entirely for themselves.

		<i>“They’re blurry, funny, ugly, sad, voyeuristic, boring and even mystifying; altogether, the collection can be described as fascinating and bizarre, an exercise for the culture of curation amid a mobile world.”</i>

<p>
			YEAH broadcasts reality. It’s good, it’s bad, and it’s whatever one wants it to be. It can be taken in any direction and is open for anything. The only editing is the deletion of non-mobile phone photos as a means of discouraging future manipulations and to encourage the submission of originals.

	<i>“The anonymous, apparently globally distributed camera ready users of Y5 won’t care about this heady media/art/analysis. They simply take pictures.”</i>

<p>
			Fueled by the idea of public interaction, YEAH has the ability to bring art to a home, street, or wherever one has access to the Internet. People viewing the YEAH publication will be able to take the information and pass it on to others. Initially, YEAH was growing exponentially by word of mouth only. The YEAH publication, will be able to create a physical instructional guide to the YEAH site. This publication will further expand the YEAH community, making it become larger, stronger and more diverse. The viewer will be able to walk away with the ability to contribute to something larger, the means to continue following YEAH online, and a new idea of everyday technology. 
</p>
<p>			
			The YEAH publication will be released by <a href="http://swillchildren.org/" target="_blank">Swill Children</a> on Independence Day 2010.

			YEAH can be viewed personally or displayed publicly on any monitor or piece of technology it only is dependent on access to Internet. The Internet is the foundation for this project, as it is something that can go anywhere and be used and contributed by any culture having mobile phones and access to Internet. YEAH’S accessibility is only going to keep growing with the trends in technology.
